Chevy II/Nova is a compact automobile manufactured by the Chevrolet division
of General Motors, produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and
1985 through 1988 model years. Quite honestly, the
Chevrolet Nova did as much for Chevrolet as any compact car has ever done for
its' maker.
The Chevy II was
one of the fastest new-car development programs in GM history - just 18 months
after the designers got the green light, the first production Chevy II rolled
off the Willow Run, Michigan, assembly line in August 1961, in time for its
September 29 introduction. This was due to one simple fact- the Falcon was
dominating the Corvair in sales. Unlike the Corvair, the 1962 Chevy II was
deliberately never intended to be revolutionary in concept or execution; its
mission was to give Chevy buyers a simple, back-to-the-basics compact car. When
he announced the Chevy II to the press, Chevrolet General Manager Ed Cole described
the car as offering "maximum functionalism with thrift."
Chevrolet
designer Clare MacKichan recalled about creating the Chevy II: "There was
no time for experimentation or doodling around with new ideas from either the
engineers or from us in design; And it had to be a basic-type car. We worked
night and day on that car, and it didn't take very long to run it through our
shop because we had a deadline."
Ultimately the
Nova badge would replace Chevy II - but that wouldn't happen until 1969.
The Nova Super
Sport was transformed from a trim option to a performance package for 1968. It
was one of the smallest muscle cars ever fielded by Detroit. Novas sported the
SS badge until 1972.
The third
generation models, beginning in 1968, were fully redesigned with an extensive
restyle on a longer 111-inch wheelbase that gave the Chevy compact a chassis
that was just one inch shorter than that of the midsize Chevelle coupe. And
here is where the story of the true popularity of the Nova began.
Very early on,
gear heads, car guys, and drag racers alike realized the third generation Nova
was the perfect performance car. The extended wheel base, light weight, low
cost, and the ability to create an extremely favorable power to weight ratio
placed the Nova high on the demand list. Soon, modified Novas were appearing
all over the streets and drag strips across the country.
To this day, the
Novas are a major player in the street and strip scene.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled
Mon, Jan 19 2015The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.
GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers
Fri, Jan 1 2016Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:
